Because it's extremely common, and because nobody had said "I tried to
fix it as documented in the NVIDIA FAQ and it didn't work".

Perhaps if you were more specific about the failure, someone on the list
could help you fix it properly. Nobody can help based on vagaries such
as "it failed to solve the issue". :-)
The fix documented in the NVIDIA FAQ is clearly the correct fix. If
it's not working for you (and other people), it'd be nice to find out
why so that the documentation can be updated.

As I said, it's more likely to cause a problem when you do an upgrade.
Suddenly, X will be broken, and you'll have to either remember that your
/etc/init.d hack might've been blown away, or spend some time
troubleshooting.
